shootinputin··on Sony sells its VAIO PC business, makes TV arm its own subsidiary
Maybe but that is what people were saying about Sony couple of years ago too, they have great products for e.g. their headphones are the ones I use Sony XBA-4, their top of the line in ear headphones.

Just something for house keeping, Sony managed to sell more than the Xbox One beucase Sony is selling the PS4 in 54 countries vs Xbox One is only available in 13 and is $100 more expensive. 4 million PS4s vs 3 million Xboxes. I think the victor is Microsoft over here, if MS does open Xbox up to more markets it will clearly outsell, then again maybe not.

shootinputin··on Thirty Years of Mac [video]
How come people talk about 30 years of Mac but no one talks about 25+ years of Windows or Linux for that matter.

I saw numerous blog posts of parroting this advertisement, even in my morning daily commute news paper.

Xbox will know who is talking and when, it can also listen when you are playing the game full volume.

shootinputin··on IE11 for Windows 7 Globally Available
Implementing experimental layout techniques is less risky than implementing a two way communication protocol.
shootinputin··on IE11 for Windows 7 Globally Available
Because WebRTC is not finalized and I think Microsoft has taken an approach of not implementing the experimental features.

You can get the prototype WebRTCn as a plugin for IE through Microsoft's Interoperability Bridge here: http://html5labs.interoperabilitybridges.com/prototypes/cu-r...

A lot of browsers certainly chrome implement experimental features with vendor prefixes just to get high up in html5 tables such as those.
